Senior Executive Associate to the CEO

This is not a traditional executive assistant role. The Senior Executive Associate serves as the CEO's strategic partner, blending executive support with operational problem-solving at the highest level of the company. You'll have direct access to the CEO's world—ideas, decisions, and relationships—and your work will influence how priorities move from vision to execution.

This role is ideal for someone who has operated in high-level environments (operations, consulting, or leadership support) and is ready to apply that experience as a trusted individual contributor. If you thrive on being close to power and impact, value impeccable communication, and find fulfillment in amplifying a visionary leader, this role is designed for you.

Key Responsibilities

Executive & Operational Support

● Serve as a force multiplier for the CEO by managing calendars, travel, and correspondence with foresight, precision, and discretion.

● Support operational follow-through on projects, decisions, and commitments, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

● Draft, edit, and refine communications, presentations, and reports that reflect an executive-level standard of clarity and polish.

Strategic Leverage

● Anticipate challenges, risks, and opportunities, offering proactive solutions before they surface.

● Act as the first filter for the CEO's time and commitments, protecting focus without limiting vision.

● Build light, effective systems that reduce chaos and bring order to fast-moving initiatives.

Relationship & Communication Management

● Represent the CEO with professionalism, warmth, and authority in interactions with internal leaders, partners, and clients.

● Nurture and protect key relationships, ensuring timely follow-up and continuity.

● Handle highly sensitive information with absolute discretion and maturity.

Requirements

Experience & Skills

● 5+ years supporting senior executives or founders, ideally in a role that combined executive support with operations or project management.

● Tech-fluent and quick to master new tools (Google Workspace, HubSpot, Slack, project management platforms, AI tools, etc.).

Cognitive & Emotional Fit

● Strong judgment and decision-making with the humility to know when to escalate.

● Thrives as an individual contributor in a high-prestige support role—values proximity to impact over title.
